Samsung Electronics Co, the largest television maker, is planning to use Google TV software in home- entertainment devices based on its own chips, rather than those from Intel Corp, a person with knowledge of the plans said.
Samsung had previously considered using the Google Inc software and balked after Google required use of Intel's Atom chips, said the person, who declined to be identified because Samsung's plans haven't been made public. Google lifted the restriction.
Google TV software lets users search online video and other content on their TV screens. Until now, the software has been used only in TVs and Blu-ray players from Sony Corp and in a TV set-top box from Logitech International SA, all using Intel's Atom chip.
